Jody Scheckter sells the Ferrari 312T4
For 21 years, it was a generational icon for Ferrari fans, as it was the last winning model before the golden era signed by Michael Schumacher from 2000 to 2004. This is the Ferrari 312 T4, the car designed by Mauro Forghieri with which Jody Scheckter won the 1979 World Championship: now the South African has put it up for auction.

Jody Scheckter has included 12 cars from his private collection in the RM Sotheby’s auction to be held on May 11. Among them is precisely the 1979 title-winning car: the chassis is #040, successfully raced at Zolder, Monte Carlo, and Monza, the three victories of the world champion in that season. It is estimated to be sold for between 5,250,000 and 6,500,000 euros.

The other cars
The South African will auction not only the 1979 Ferrari but also other Formula 1 cars he raced. They are, to be precise, a McLaren M19A, on which Jody Scheckter made his F1 debut at the 1972 Watkins Glen GP, a McLaren M23 from 1973, a Tyrrell 007 from 1975, a Wolf WR1 from 1977, and a reproduction of the six-wheeled Tyrrell P34.

Also up for auction are two Formula 2 cars (the McLaren M21 from 1972 and the Rondel Motul M1 from 1973), a Formula 3 car (the Merlyn Mk21 from 1971), and other cars from the private collection: the Merlyn Mk11a from 1969, winner of the British Formula Ford championship, the Trojan T101 from 1974, winner of the Formula 5000 title, and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ from 1960, which participated in the 1961 and 1963 editions of the Targa Florio.
